Abstract/Summary

In July 1945, the Secretary of State for the Colonies appointed me leader of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey for two years, an appointment which brought a prospect of a free existence in the wide open spaces as compared with routine office life.

All this was necessary before the stores were ordered, packed and dispatched and the staff appointed.
